Booze and baseball fit together like a hand in glove — except when it comes to trademark disputes.

The Texas Rangers have a beef with Bacardi Ltd., the maker of rum, Grey Goose Vodka and Bombay Sapphire gin over a new distilled spirit the company introduced in China last year and hopes to distribute worldwide.

Tang, as it’s called, is the first of its kind, a liquor made from green tea leaves.

The problem is that Tang’s logo is awfully similar to the baseball team’s “stylized letter T,” and Major League Baseball is opposing Bacardi’s trademark application with the US Patent and Trademark Office.

In a filing last week, MLB wrote that Tang would “injure” the Texas Rangers, cause “confusion” and “deceive the public.”

A Bacardi spokeswoman declined to comment on the legal tussle, explaining that the beverage is currently only available in China. MLB’s outside counsel, Richard Mandel, also declined to comment.

“Alcohol companies spend a lot of money with professional teams, so this could be seen as a two-headed reason for going after Bacardi — not only to protect the Rangers brand, but also to protect the co-branded sponsors they work with,” noted Michelle Mancino Marsh, an intellectual property partner at Arent Fox law firm.

The filing is an “initial shot across the bow that could be resolved very quietly or turn into a big battle if Bacardi doesn’t relent,” Marsh said.
